Prayers for Ukraine

[Shin]

In this time of war and invasion for the people of Ukraine, let us pray for them.

 

Lord have mercy.

Heavenly Father, Divine Trinity,
I pray for peace in the world,
but I do not know how to pray.
I hope You have the power
and the Will to create peace,
but You have not done it
despite so many payers and prophecies.
Please grant us peace,
remove the evil doers,
restore Your Kingdom.
I pray in the Name of our Lord Jesus,
Amen

[Shin]

Are you doing alright eschator?

Our Lord is omnipotent and can do everything. His Will can be quite mysterious in this life, with so much sin permitted, but everything will be for the best in the end.

Thank you for your concern, I am struggling.  Yesterday I searched many sources for prayers for peace and concluded I would write the best I could.  Today, I found again in Pope John Paul II's Prayers and Devotions, the title for today's meditation is The World is Thirsty for Mercy, and the editor closed his introduction with this prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God,
grant that...all of us may Love You more,
as in ourselves we live the mysteries of Your life again,
from the conception and birth
up to the Cross and the Resurrection.
Be with us through these mysteries,
be with us in the Holy Spirit.
Help us to change the direction of the increasing threats
and misfortunes of the world of today.
Lift man up again.
Protect the nations and the peoples.
O Lord Jesus Christ,
show how more powerful,
in man and in the world,
is the work of Your Redemption.

O Lord our God, look down with mercy on the Ukrainian people. Protect and save them from the unjust aggressors who seek to subdue them. Grant them hope and trust in your love, mercy, and protection.
